Running 2022-23 NCAA Basketball Thread

Channeling Dennis Green as I watched Ohio lose in OT to Michigan. “They were who we thought they were and we let ‘em off the hook!”

 

Kelvin Sampson needs to be institutionalized.

 

I don't know whether to put this here, the shooting thread, or somewhere else (I saw someone mentioned it here when it happened) but this story is crazy. H

How does this happen? I get you can't watch these players 24/7, but how does one get away from the team hotel at 3 in the morning? At a rival, where, you, know, people know people? I like that New Mexico State said they haven't been checking bags but they probably would now.

 

Just as noteworthy is that the Wazzou and Colorado games were in SWAC gyms.

 

The Final Four should be in Detroit about once every 50 years. 2010 was more than plenty for this half-century.

Of course, NY, Chicago and LA have shot themselves in the nuts as far as Final Fours are concerned.

 

LA should be in the mix now with the Rams’ pleasure palace. And Nashville seems determined to build a dome so the Titans don’t have to hear the anguished screams of residents busting their axles in the ubiquitous potholes.

 

I wonder if Toronto has ever made a serious bid for the FF -- and whether it would be considered if it did.

 

That's what Rick Barnes should have said after the Tennessee-Colorado game.

 

Mitch Albom has five years to work on that column.
